We had the absolute best time on our trip! This was my first trip out but my husband’s and kids’ second time out! We caught several mahi mahi and a big beautiful black fin tuna which was the highlight for me!! The crew was phenomenal!! We had captain John and First Mate Daniel! Both were so very knowledgeable of the area, the waters, finding fish, and how to catch them! The ride out was very pleasant as we listened to the fascinating stories John shared with us! Daniel taught me so much about the offshore fishing process and how to reel in fish! Reeling in that big tuna was quite a feet for this ‘ole gal! But with Daniel’s and John’s encouragement and guidance I was able to finish it!  We had a great time with our teenagers on this trip! I would highly recommend this group as they were able to truly locate the fish!

I’ve done multiple private charters in Cabo, PV, Curacao, Alaska, and Hawaii. My wife and I went down to the Florida Keys during memorial day weekend and didn’t want to miss out on having a go at fishing there. I wanted to target Sailfish, albeit wasn’t the ideal season for it, and Captain John and his mate Nelly went above and beyond in doing their best to go out far and shoot for it. While we didn’t get one, we had plenty of action throughout a full day trip, getting a Sail and Marlin in the spread, and catching well over a dozen Mahis! We easily led the fleet in quantity for most of the day, rest assured, these guys know what they’re doing and have fun with you doing it. I’ll certainly be going back out with these guys!

We did more catching than fishing. My wife and I got spoiled on our trip with Capt. AJ and Mate Russia.

The Captain has a discerning eye and was clearly in his element. He worked with a quiet confidence and spoke like an old friend.

With wild cheer, Russia worked like the madman he is. He never missed a beat while commanding the lines; a gifted mate for sure. 

I wish we would have booked the whole day. After catching a great number of Dolphin and a commendable Barracuda, we caught sight of a sizable Blue Marlin with forty minutes of fishing time left. The Captain’s sharp eye kept us in play, but we just didn’t have enough time. Right before we packed it in, we saw a handful of Dolphin do their best flying fish impersonations as they leapt only fifty feet away from our boat to escape the Marlin.

It was a perfect day for weather and fishing.  The 6 hour trip timing was perfect.  It gave us time to get out deep and try for the trophy Marlin or Sailfish for a while.  Although we didn’t land the big Trophy we did get some real nice Mahi once we changed tactics to get some other fish with the time left (hence the 6 hour).  You can’t get the trophy unless you try and we still caught fish.  Captain and mate were very friendly and knowledgeable, boat and gear were great too!  I’ll go there again on my next trip to the Keys!

This was the first time any of us had been deep sea fishing, and the crew was great.

The highlights were catching two sharks, one was a 170 pound hammerhead.

I would highly recommend the Irish Cowboy.
